Lil 12 help

Sup.. Thumb's finally healed, went out to New Beddy earlier 2day 2 scape my new shlt B Mac threw on. Anyways, i was doing it w/ right foot on the break, left on the rear peg. Whenever i ride out wheelies like this, the bike always wabbles to the sides. I got the pressure out of the tire and everything. Mostly, when i go back to scrape, only the right side hits, than it wabbles left, back right, and i have to jump off the side. Should i stick out my left knee more? Somebody help me out on if the ***** going right what do i do. Also, is it bad 2 ride around on one fork seal that's leaking?

Re: Lil 12 help

the bike is wobbling because you're probably choppy with your throttle. one side of my bar always hits before the other too, because of the crown of the road.

Yeah figured it out. Wicked choppy w/ the throttle, so when I was bout 2 hit BP, the extra blip always threw it 2 the side. Plus i didnt have enough weight on my left peg. Also, I realized the bike parks at 11:30 only w/ me on it.. Geyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Sorry that was before my morning coffee

I didn't fab the 12 bar bracket he had an FI 12 bar and ask if I could add one of my plates so I did. he was going to have someone else do the

welding SO I decided the best thing to do is welded it on for next to nothing so that it was done right not knocking anyone else.

You know as everyone else knows I stand behind what ever I do if you don't like what I did Bring it back and I'll work something out

You could get to 12 by cutting and modifying the FI bracket

Re: Lil 12 help

If you got a stock FI or 905 bar, its too long and should be cut down for safety purposes.

Thanx maing.. but listen, its working out fine for the rest of the season. I just have to lean back a lil and it parks. The bar is actually amazing, you did a good job on the cage as well. I have a lil bit of vibration around 9,000 and a lil head shake around 45 mph. Nothing i could care about, but what would fix that if i did wanna do somethign about it this winter?
